Estimates the parameters of a continuous or discrete transfer function model for an unknown system. This VI estimates only the transfer function between the stimulus and the response. The transfer function between the noise and the response is assumed to be 1. You must manually select the polymorphic instance to use.

If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.
code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

SI Estimate Transfer Function Model Details

The SI Estimate Transfer Function Model VI supports SISO and MISO systems for continuous models. You can provide an initial guess to the system delay using the delay initial guess (s) or delay initial guesses (s) input.

The SI Estimate Transfer Function Model VI supports only SISO systems for discrete models. This VI provides three methods to estimate discrete models: the direct, indirect, and joint input-output methods. The direct method works for both open-loop and closed-loop data. The indirect and joint input-output methods are used only for closed-loop data.

Examples

Refer to the following VIs for examples of using the SI Estimate Transfer Function Model VI:
